"The $297,297 Kovalchuk missed today is money he will never, ever get back. And the more cheques he misses, the better the deal is going to have to be for the players to justify him sitting out. And unlike the owners, the players can direct their leadership to get a deal done regardless of how disadvantageous it is to them."

I sus pect the next question will be, " when did you stop beating your wife?"

I collect spores, molds and fungus.Hello fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot. What? Taxes, they'll be lower... son. The Democratic vote is the right thing to do Philadelphia, so do.How do you spot risk? How do you avoid risk? And what makes it so risky?

I just happened to have on the end of the Isles postgame to see the score, and Stan was asking someone (I want to say Parenteau) about how the Islanders have shown fight at the end of the season, as opposed to teams like Toronto.

Now he just asked the same thing to Okposo, Burkie must really be under Stan's skin

I didn't find this funny and I didn't find this fair to the players. I mean Phil Kessel answered with humility. If I was him I would have been like, "dude I don't know about these other chumps but I'm 7th in the league in scoring."

And the media in Toronto is one of the reasons why they are so bad...If I were one of the players I would of asked the media questions and blast them.

It must take a lot of restraint for these players not to want to knock one of these reporters senseless at times. They can come off as such smug know-it-alls. I know this is part of the gig that comes with being an NHL player in Toronto, but still...

Look at a complete douchey noodge like Larry Brooks...even though Tortorella can come off as a douche as well, I can see why Tortorella looks at a guy like that and becomes instantly annoyed by his presence.

THE NHL MUST LOVE THE DEVILS - from who else? A RANGER fan![Mark Messier]: A big, bald attention whore with a stupid Easter Island-lookin face. - from who else? DaneykoIsGod!

Even when Marty comes back maybe Larry should put Clemmensen to be on the goal during the shootouts.Can the coach do that ? Switch the goalies 5 seconds to go in overtime? - Most priceless quote ever posted on a message board.

Martin Brodeur: THE MOST ALL-TIME WINS!, 12 straight seasons of 30+ wins, 3 Stanley Cups, 4 Vezina Trophies, and zero respect from too many so-called Devils "fans" who are either too young or too bandwagon to remember the much darker days of Sean Burke, Craig Billington, Bob Sauve, Alain Chevrier, and the talented but overwhelmed Chico Resch, among many others.

It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

Except the Leafs do suck lol...they've missed the playoffs every year since the lockout, we missed once in fifteen years. This isn't a Rangers suck thread when they're about to win the conference tonight or soon enough

It's not arrogant to say that a team that hasn't made the playoffs since the lockout sucks. That's common sense.

Admittedly, Toronto's struggles don't make any impact on me.

But I DO enjoy it when Carolina fails to get in. But they seem to have the Devils' number when they do make it, the fvckers!
